TENNESSEE ELECTIONS.
In Tennessee, “ tho Lion of Democracy has shaken the
dew from his mane,” mid modern wltiggery, alius ancient fed
eralism. lies gasping at his feet.
“The sober second thought of the people," ns expressed
in the late contest, affords another stt iking proof of this fun
damental truth, that “the great body of the people, although
they may he occasionally misled, will not remain long in the
wrong, upon questions affecting their rights and interests.”
We could shout victory! mid swell the notes of triumph—
but the subject is to us, one, of milder, calmer contemplation.
To behold an honest, independent mid high minded people,
yielding to the voice of reason and truth, and magnanimously
returning from the error of their ways, is a lesson full ol in
struction and consolation to the frieuds of republican gov
orntneut.
The people of Tennessee are gallant and patriotic—they
are democratic, nnd jealous of their liberty. But they have
been decoyed hy their affection for one, who for a long time
had proved faithful to their principlesand their interests—
Their confidence in Judge White, and that alone, has been
the cause of their temporary aberatiou from the Republican
track ; but the scales have fallen from their eyes, and they
have wheeled into rank*, and taken their proper position w ith
the democratic party of the Tn'ou.
Democrats of Georgia ! hold up your heads, and follow
the bright example of Tennessee

TENNESSEE ELECTION.
The Whigs have been routed horse, loot and dragoon, in
the late election for Governor of Tennessee. Polk, the De
mocratic candidate is elected by from Mice to Jive thousand
votes! This result seems to astonish all parties every where,
aud shows conclusively that Tennessee has ever been truly
democratic. The cause of this result is no doubt, the unpop
ularity of Mr. Clay iu that State.

For Die Standard of Union.
To Josiah Flournoy, Esq:
Dear sir: I am not a little surprised to see, from a man
of your courtly manners, so much vanity (to call it by no
worse nani**) hs appears from your pen, tn the Georgia
Argus of the 18th of July.
After giving a form of your ton highly colou ed petition,
which beyond all doubt, contains falsehood iu fact, von go
on and say, “The above petition has been signed by all
the Judges of the S. C. (superior Cotnt we suppose) who
have seen it except one, and he highly approved of it.”
This may be all it ue, and yet no J udges name toil. For
the Huth may be, that no Judge, but on- may h ive seen
it, and he, not wishing to offend you, may have signitied
his approval. On this point « e will venture one thing, that
Xto Judge who is a democrat of the old school, has signed
the petition, nr ever will sign it. And wc hope that you
will now publish to the world, the names of all the Judges
that have signed your infamous petition, or confess your
indirect slander of those gentlemen.
Passing by your attention to Grand Jurorsand Ladies, of
a piece with the balance of your hypocritical cant to gain
proselytes, we come to where you say your petition has
been signed—“ by all the methodists.” I hope sir you
are mistaken. Is it possiible that the beloved church of
Christ is reaching after political power? What mean all
that is whispered about the late Methodist Conference ha
ving recommended this measure to her iiim rant Clergy 1
What mean the great effort to control schools ?
And you say, all the Presbyterians have signed your
petitions! We say nothing, but wait patiently to see if
they will silently confess.
And then, all the Baptists except the anti’s. By which
J suppose you mean the Anti-Missionary Baptists. J will
-not undertake to say what you m y have seen in that re
spectable church, but 1 happen to know that church to be
divided upon the subject, sod I had supposed them suffi
ciently divided before, without the introduction of another
bo.ue of contention. The anti's as you call them, I sup
pose you consider lost to your petitions. Well, lam glad
there are some Christian patriots, even according to your
view of the matter. I mean, that they are patriots if they
yefme to sign your petitions. And you have got the re.
s«il*rs ahd drunkards! Now sir let me ask you in candor
how far this h from taking the fools to make tools of them
to do your dirty work? For you may depend yon will find
it a dirty business before yort are done witlTit. ( annot the
retailer quit retailing without the help of law? And can
not the drunkard cease to drink without lite force of sta
tute? To deny him the power of refoi niiiiioii, is to deny
tree agency, which 1 suppose you are not prepared to do ;
and to admit it, is to call Inin a fool to want a law to help
him. Now sir, 1 object to being governed by fools, or fool
ish laws, made at the instance of lunatic s. And you have
got seven tenths of the Lawyers and Doctois. Pieity in
genious ; left out enough for every one to say, he has not
got my name ; but they know how to speak for themselves
and we are willing they shall do it. But I know some
whose names you have not got, and will net get.
Your repott from the twenty counties may be all true,
hut it is doubled by some that we have heard of. But the
“immense loss ot money” you speak of cannot be true.
It has only changed hands: the capiial is still in the coun
try, and it makes very little difference who has it.
But von haver got the traffic of liquor, the “primary school
for all crime.” This ought to satisfy you of the delusion
you are under. Is there no slander but from ‘grogshops ?’
Is there tin abduction, no seduction, no batteries, no mur
ders, thefts and so of all the catalogue of crime. Is there
no reviling, no extortion, no ustny, no busy bodies in other
men’s matters, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, en
vying*, &c. but from licjuor? 1 tell yon sir, the primary
schools of vice, is the domestic fire-side, and if there is
any thing amis in your family, or the families of your pe
titioners, I want no such political quacks as you to pre
scribe for me. It is believed you have already done more
mist li’u f by Stirling up strife in the community, uncapping
this Pandora’s box of tvratmy, not even p< rmitting inno
cent wo <'.en arid chi'dien to esc ape your vindictiive claws,
entering into families and exciting children to disobedience,
than you ran atone for with a longlife of repentance.
But sir let me give you a little of my understanding in
this matter. On one occasion where the sabject was fair
ly debated, free from Hick or cm tiieg, the result was five
for, and seventy against the petitions. In another place,
about one hundred and thirty nine against, and one for the
petitions. The advocate, very politely (for once in his
life) declined covering a rail, and was permitted to retire
in peace. Now sir, we do not approve of this rail cover
ing, but I mention it as an index of public opinion, and if
you should be “ fool hardy," (excuse the term if you please
sir, 1 do not profess to be classic) enough to persevere,
that you may look out for breakers. Nor is it done to
alarm you, I know you, and believe I know something else.
You have been chiefly in the cities, towns and villages, the
best place to find the aristocracy, 1 have been to the coun
try, which is best adapted to the growth of democracy.
Mr. Mad ison says, “The sober people of America are
weary of the fluctuating policy which has directed the
public councils. They have seen with regret and with in
dignation, that sudden changes, and legislative interfer
ences, in cases affecting personal rights, become jobs in
the hands of enterprising and influential speculators: and
snares to the more industrious and less informed part of the
community. They have seen, too, that one legislative in
terference is but the first link of a long chain of repeti
tions; every subsequent interference being naturally pro
duced by the effects of the preceding.”
Now sir, with this passage before vonr eyes, liow do
you expect to justify yourself before the public. Or do
you believe yourself wiser than that learned patriot of
experience James Madison. Can it he possible that you,
who have devoted your whole time, and successfully too, to
making money—but the statesman of this morning, will
have the impudence to set up tout judgment against such
men as Janies Madison, late President of the U. States.
If you do, we admit your tight, and account for vonr ar
rogance, as we do for all other fanaticism. Had it been
a matter of usury, the settlement of a plantation, or the
profitable management of negroes, we would have taken
your opinion as good authority. But sir, as a politician,
we must tell yon your measure is unwise, and Liberty will
assign you your met ited station among her enem .es. The
iron pen of justice will wiite your epitaph while you live,
on the public high ways of scorn.
As to your ridiculous proclamation, we, leave you, for
the present, to all the consolation its coarse wit can afford
voit, as we have better employment about our domestic af
fairs ; but if we should get a little time to spare, may touch
vou and your co-workers of political sin in the temperance
societies, with Mr. Jefferson. Not that we are the ene
mies of temperance, hallowed temperance; for we very
seldom taste spit its, never get drunk, never made a drop,
and have none for sale. If you caw beat that temperance,
I am willing, and so are all the friends of
GOOD ORDER.

At an adjourned meeting of the citizens of Bibb coun
ty ot 13tli ult. to meet at the Couit-House, in Macon, on
the Ist Tuesday in August ; the Chairman and Secreta
ry of the former meeting being absent, on motion of Geo.
Viga!, Esq. Robert Beasley, Esq. was called to the Chair,
and on motion ot Young Johnson, Jos. A. Lee was ap
pointed Secretary.
After the meeting was organised, Young Johnson, Esq.,
Col. David F. Wilson, and Mark D. Clarke, Esq., ad
dressed the meeting.
And on motion of William B. Cone, Esq., a commit
tee of seven was appointed by (he Chair, to draft a Pre
amble and Resolutions, expressing the feelings of this
meeting. The Chair ap,minted George*Vigal, Win. B.
Cone, Young Johnson, D. F. Wilson,Simon Parker, Josh
ua Jordan, and Za< hariah Cowart.
The committee retired, and after a few minutes, re
ported the following:
\\ hereas, at a la ge and very respectable meeting of the
ci-izens of Bibb comity, held in Macon on 13th day ot
July, requesting a general meeting of the citizens ol
Bibb to assemble in the city of Macon, on the Ist Tues
day in August ; and whereas, a large and respectable
number did assemble for the purpose of adopting mea
sures to support the Repiiblican form of the Constitution,
as teamed and sustained try our forefathers-—guaranteeing
to each and everv tret white individual equal rights anti
privdeges—At d whereas, certain pets , ns, under the guise
of ministers or temperance persons, are travelling through
tiie comitrv, exciting the ignorant and iinsii-pecting to
sign pi-’itions to he presented to tlie next Legislature, to
prohibit the telailii g ol ardent Spiri's, is altogether un
constitutional, ami a sure measme to take those liberties
from tlm many, for the benefit of the few; and will be
attended villi more evil consequences than all Legislative
action on tin-subject—Be it therefore,
Resolved, That this meeting, duly impressed with the
belief tiiat a free people cannot be too jealous of their
liberties, and at the same time aware that moderation in
their councils and actions is tho surest road to virtuous
and happy results after mature deliberation, feel them
selves bound (one and all) by every lawful means to resist
each and every innovation upon the Established Constitu
tional Laws nf the country.
Resolved, That, believing the Law of 1837 to prevent
the practice of carrying weapons, is contrary to the con
stitution, and only has the effect to disarm the Law
abiding citizen, whilst the lawless caste wear them with
impitiiiiy, thereby laying the good citizens al the footstool
of the vicious.
Resolved, That the law of 1838, compelling retailers
to take an oath, is only compelling our slaves to do all
their trading with those retailers who care nothing for
an oath. These we might suffer to pass unnoticed, but
the glaring attempt of Messrs. Flournoy and his coadjutors,
warns us that what lias been done, was intended for, or
converted into, an example, which would fully answer as
the basis of our argument for other infractions of our
national rights of intercourse and traffne one with tlm
other ; tending evidently to the fulfilment of the maxim,
that “power is always stealing front the many to the
few.”
Resolved, That a Committee of five from each Cap
tain’s District lit the county, be appointed by ths chair,
whose duty It shall bo, atMhjio fit aud couverdoct time, td
I meet, decide upon, and make known the written answers
I of each candidate to this body'; that we may take such
measures as will ensure to us a Representation who are
not disposed to restrict us in those privileges which we
hold most dear, and which we will maintain by ottr suf
frages, without “regard to political distinctions,” which
have heretofore unhappily served us.
Resolved, That a Committee of five be appointed from
the general Committee, in or near Macon, as a Corres
ponding Committee, to communicate with such Candi
dates as are now offering, or may hereafter offer, to repre
sent this comity in the next Legislaturo; to receive their
respective answers, and to lay before the genetal Com
mittee for consideration.
On motion of Dr. Hobby, Resolved, That the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger be requested to publish the
proceedings. On motion, the meeting adjourned.

A WEDDING AT SEA.
A Paris correspondent of the New-York Review, gives
the following sketch of an interesting scene which
occured on board the ship in which he sailed from this
country :
A novel circumstance look place while on our passage,
which I must relate : There was a Mr. H. on board,
who was formerly a merchant in Massachusetts, since in
Connecticut, and late of New Yotk. He was a kind,
open-hearted fellow, full of fmi, ami withal very intelli
gent as well as handsome. His age about twenty-seven.
He came Ot) board an entire strang.-r to all, but as we
made it a point to h-'JVe but one. family on board and as
we soon discovered his amiable qualities he was very soon
made a welcome member. On our sixth day out lie came
to me am l enquired the name and circumstances of an el
derly gentleman passenger who was accompanied by his
daughter, with whom Mr. 11. seemed deeply smitten. For
my own part I could see nothing exceedingly attactive
about Miss J. save that she was very agreeable in her
manner and highly intelligent. 1 informed hint, and at
his request, gave bint a formal introduction, which termin
ated in the following manner.
Soon after the introduction it became evident that a
mutual liking and affection existed between Mr. H. and
Miss J., who, from the open expressions of fondness, be
gan to attract the attention of all, and the admiration of
many of the passengers. They were frequently observed
in their close conversations, and a game of whist was
scarcely ever played in which they were not partners. On
the second Sunday of our passage, we solicited the Rev.
Mr. G., who was on his way to Italy, to preach a sermon.
By the politeness of Capt. N. a large awning was spread
above us, seats were prepared, and a congregation of sev
enty-six persons, including the steerage passengers and
sailors, was collected to participate in the religions exer
cises. A small desk was formed into a pulpit, and a
choir was formed hy “going into a committee of the
whole.” The text was read and the sermon delivered,
of which I need not speak. At the conclusion of ser
mon, our minister rose and read the following card which
lay on his desk :
“Wm. Bently II , Esq. of New-York, intends
marriage with Miss Maria Louisa J .” We were
more surprised at the novelty of the thing than al the
fact itself, and, indeed such was the feeling created bv
the sudden and unexpected announcement made, that we
all forgot the serions impressions made an our minds by
the minister, in our hearty and vociferous congratulations
of the happy pair. But it did not end here. A proposi
tion was made Io the parties to have the affairs consum
mated that evening, which was cheerfully acceded to by
them, to the great pleasure of'all on board. Accordingly,
things wete arranged to order, the best state-room was
to be given up to them, and every one felt gay and hap
py as the hour approached which should witness the
consummation of their nuptial vows. The evening was
calm and delightful; not a sail fluttered in the breeze; not
a voice was heaid ; not the least stir or bustle about the
deck, and the moon looked down in loveliness on that
tranquil scene. As at noon, every soul gathered to the
temple, which had been erected for religious worship,
and in less than fifteen minutes the marriage ceremony
was performed by our worthy minister, who made but a
few remarks and closed with prayer.
The scene was truly as sublime as romantic. The
fair bride went out dressed in a robe of pure white satin,
leaning on the arm of her lover, bound to the altar, and
heard her marriage vow pronounced where only an hour
before site had uttered her vows to God. Many a tear of
joy stole down the cheeks of those who looked on, and
not a cate cast the shadow of its wing across the scene of
triumph mt love and bliss.
The novelty of this affair had thrown us all into an ex
citement, and nothing was to he talked but weddings, wed
ding parties, marriages at sea, love, honey moon, etc.,etc.,
and I was at times half tempted to make a similar propo
sition myself, to the qtteenlike Miss C., if for nothing else
but the purpose of " having the joke pass round."
Mr. Wakely, the coroner of London, made the follow
ing remarks upon the use of.the stomach pump in extract
ing poisons generally, ata recent inquest held in that citr.
In reference to laudanum, he said, that since he had be
come coroner, one or two ciicuinstances bad occurred
which he would be a great benefit to the medi
cal profession and the public at large to be put in posses
sion of. At an inquest held at Chelsea, upon a gentleman
named Bush, the surgeon stated that he used the stnmach
pump twice, and on discharging the water injected into
the stomach, not the slightest smell or indication that lauda
num had been taken was perceptible. On inserting the
ptimb however for the third time, he extracted nearly half
a pint of thick mucus, which was impregnated with opi
um to an extent sufficient to kill the stiongest horse. It
appeared to him that the mucus, must entirely absorb the
laudanum, and that ttn’ess the tube of the pump is insert
ed amongst it, it would be of no avail. Mr. Frazer rela
ted a similar instance where he had extracted the mocus
containing all the laudanum swallowed, upon the third ap
plication of the stomach pump. The coroner said he
merely mentioned the circumstance, as it was Itigl.h es
sential that the medical profession should be made acquaint
ed with any fact which could have a tendency to preserve
human life.
A Rat Caught.— A few since, a young lady with
her attendant beau, was promenading, and viewing one of
the U. S. establishments in this vicinity, when the fair
lady, with truly feminine timidity, became suddenly alarm
ed by a number of large wharf fats crossing her path
and in her fright she fancied that one of the hideous crea-<
tores had taken refuge on her lovely person, beneath her
dress, which she fortunately succeeded in seizing, and held
fast in her hand. Not daring to quit her hold, and almost
fainting through alarm, she explained her awkward predic
ament to her companion, when they sought entrance into
a neighboring house, where the lady was kindly received,
and shown into a private room, to remove his ratship be
neath the folds of Iter garments, when, hands off! Io and
behold, what impudent annimal dropped to the floor?
Not an enormous rat, but the lady’s bustle— which had un
expectedly removed from its destination, and caused all
the false alarm ! It is needless to add that the fair one’s
difficulties were speedily adjusted, and she soon recovered
from her flight.— Boston Journal.
A Plain Truth.— There is a pl tiit hut solemn truth in
the quotation which we here make: “ Where one indi
vidual walks voluntarily into crime, a thousand arftdecei
ved into it by unsuspected villains, or forced into it by the
pressure of irresistible misfortune. Let us be charitable
then, towards even those who are apparently the greatest
criminals, for we know not but that after alk they are the
wronged. It is better to err with charity, than to rUt the
leaist risk With its ruverse.*— Pdtt.
From the Augusta Daily News.
Bicknell says that the United Slates Bank of Pennsyl
vania has declined receiving deposits from Brokers. I lie
sa'itte paper states that the policy will be injurious to the
Banks of NewYoik and Pennsylvania. Will it not cause
a run on the United States Bank itself? And will not
their specie first be withdrawn? Is it to be supposed that
tho Capitalists of Wall Street, will submit to this measure
without attempting re|aliatory measures? The wealthy
brokers of New York and Pennsylvania can cause a smash
in the United States Bank concern, whenever they choose
to concentrate their energies against it, —and our charily
is so very expansive, that we never drop a tear, or sigh
or mourn when we see insolent wealth that attempts to
ride rough-shod over any class or calling of our people,
properly castigated.
We view all moneyed corporations or associations of
moneyed men in the same light. Their capital or money
is to them, what lite operatives and plantations of another
class are to them.
But fortunately for society, and sometimes unfortunate
ly, monied institutions are always at war with etch other
—ever taxing their inventive powers to suggest new means
of drawing off specie..—That seems to ba the end. and
aim of all bankers, brokers, stock-jobbers, &c.
means which disparage the value of one class of notes or
property to-day, and protesto, to-morrow they are angelic
again. Thousands are made by compelling one bank to
suspend specie payments.
Astute philosophy would dictate that all monied con
cerns should conciliate interests—and co-operate in their
exertions to do the greatest possible good to our trading
community—that ism- re moonshine—banks are Ijke indi
viduals, they do that which is most conducive to their in
terest—and sometimes their policy is like Macfittgal’s gun,
they 1 ’ ki< k their owner's over.”
But hem is what Bi'-kneli has to say :
The Bank of the United States.— We learn that the
Bank of the United Slates has declined receiving: the de
posits of all brokers. An exiraordinaty move this, and
calculated to be attended by no very agreeable conse
quences? We may mention that since the establishment
of a branch of the United States Bank in New York, the
notes of the institution have been kept at par in that citv.
Hetii'e the brokers made use of them very freely as remit
tances to their New York correspondents. Now, however,
under tnC new arrangement, they will be compelled to
forward specie- they must obtain from the Philadelphia
banks. The result will be to drain our banks to a con
siderable extent, for the 01 New \ ork.
The Madisonian says “We have rfiCr’Ptl.V held a con
versation with a highly influential and intelligent Politician
of the South, who gives it as his unbiassed opinion that
South Carolina will never bestow her vote on Martin Van
Buren.”
Th is is all humbug—South Carolina will most assured
ly vote for Mr. Van Buren. In Richland district, where
Col. Prestou resides, (and he may be regarded as the in
dividual most likely to be of any service to Mr. Clav) no
Clay man can be elected to the Legislature. Col. Pies
ton is measurably a “ dead lion,” —he has caught hold of
Mr. Clay’s coat tail, and wants to be thought something ex
tra —but he is barking up the wrong tree.
The paragraph in the Madisoniau was intended for po
litical effect—hi t its prediction will be fob nd net war
ranted by subsequent events.— fb.
MR. CLAY.
The prospects of this gentleman are now as bright as
ever—and his election to the Presidency as certain as that
two and two make ten. Let his friends read the following
flattering intelligence, and rest satisfied that there is no ne
cessity for the least fluttering.
The Philadelphia Gazette, a warm ftiend of Mr, Clay,
says:
“ With regard to the National politics in this Suite, and
the prospects of Presidenti-I candidates, we must can
didly say that tie have no confidence in Mr. Clay’s suc
cess.”
A whig paper of New York, Freedom’s Sentinel, sat s:
“ Mr. Clay cannot obtain the decimal vue of New
York.”
The New York American says:
“The course of events proves that in the south Mt.
Clay—not withstanding his famous anti-Abolition, or,
t titbet pro-slavery speech—has Ito such hoid as to watrant
the expectation of his obtaining the support of a single
Southern State, except, perhaps, Louisiana-—uhile the
very objectionable tone and doctrine of that speech have
cooled the warm feelings once entertained for him by hun
dreds of thousands of voters in free States.”
And the Cleveland Herald after discussing the popu
larity of Messrs. Clay and Harrison in tin t State concludes
thus:
“ How, then, do we stand in Ohio? By our divisions,
powerless.”
Thus it will he seen, according to the Whig calculations,
that four great States, New Yotk, Pennsylvania, Virginia
and Ohio, are against Henry Clay.--- Augusta Daily
News.
We find in the Louisianian the following fact illustra
tive of a successful mode for a man to procure cn d.t.
The Baltimore Post mentions the following curious cir
cumstance as a fact that actually occurred. A merchant
of that city being applied to for credit by a voting man
who was a stranger to him, and having seen his advertise
ments in the Post, called upon the editors of that paper
to see if he had paid his newspaper bills. The euitsr ex
hibited his accounts, from which it appeared that his cred
its were punctuallyjpaid in advance. The ntt rehani went
home, and despatched the desired articles to the young
man’s residence without hesitation, no other evidence of
his general punctuality being required. —lb.

s’f.atis, years have passed,
My sweetest, since 1 heard thy voice’s tone,
Saying thon wonld'st hts mine, and mine alone;
Dark ycurs have cost
1 heir shadows on me, nnd my brow no more
Smiles with the happy light that ouco it wore.
My h-nrt is sear
As a leaf tossed upon tho autumnal gale j
The early rose-huea of my life are pale,
Its garden drear,
Its bower deserted; for my singing bird
Among its dim retreats no more ie hoard.
Oh! trust them not—
Who say that I have long forgotten thee,
Or even now thou art not dear to me I
Though far my lot
From thine, and though Time’s onward rolling tide
May never bear- me, dearest, to thy side,
I wonld forget!
Alas! I strive in vain:—in d'earns, in dreams,
The radiance of thy glance upon me beams s
No star has met
My gaze for years, whose beauty doth not shine,
Whotra look of speechless love is not like tliine!
The evening air—•
Soft witness of the flow’rel’e fragrant denth—
Strays not so sweetly tn me as thy breath;
